Chapter 120 - 114 Idiom Solitaire
When Tian Qinghua returned, more than a dozen children started to eat. Tian Sisi specially lit two oil lamps, turning their wicks to the longest, making the flames burn brightly. Although it was still not as bright as electric light, it was already clear enough.
"Come on, first of all, let’s all wish comrade Tian Xinhua a happy birthday and progress in studies," Tian Shouhua stood up first to deliver the opening speech.
"I wish Brother Xinhua’s wishes come true and that he makes lots and lots of money."
Tian Sisi said this gigglingly, snatching the opportunity to speak. She knew that making money was always on Tian Xinhua’s mind.
Tian Shouhua was speechless for a moment, having been preempted by Tian Sisi. This darn girl, always manages to infuriate him with her words. Can you even say such things at this time? If others heard, it would surely cause trouble. He glared at her fiercely and decided to ignore her.
The rest also offered their blessings and downed their drinks, even the youngest Weiguo and Qinghua had a sip. The wine, specially taken out by Tian Sisi, was a sweet rice wine that was quite refreshing to drink.
It was a novel experience for everyone present to sit together like adults drinking and eating dishes they had prepared themselves. They were all very excited, and after eating the steamed cake, each picked their favorite dishes to enjoy, lavishing praise on the deliciousness of the food.
"These fried tofu and green vegetable rolls are made by Juying, the braised pork and steamed fish are by sister Wanhua, the stir-fried river snails and peanuts are by An Mei, the stir-fried radish with pork slices and lettuce with pork shreds are by Mei Ying, and the rest I made. Aren’t they delicious?" Tian Sisi proudly introduced who had cooked each dish.
"Not bad, all delicious. An Mei’s cooking is better than at home," Zhong Anping praised his sister after tasting a snail, and the others followed with their compliments.
The faces of the girls turned red, like a rosy dawn, perhaps out of excitement or maybe from the alcohol.
